Loading and performance
Maximum take-off and landing weight is 450 kg. Maximum empty weight is 268 kg, and the checklist quotes 182 kg useful load. The club checklist gives a standard take-off of 189 m (364 m over a 50 ft obstacle) and a landing of 273 m (676 m over 50 ft). Long wet grass adds 30% to the take-off roll.
Engine and fuel
Rotax 912 UL: 80 hp for 5 minutes, 75 hp continuous, 71 hp cruise. Oil must be automotive oil with gear additives (API SF or SG), not aircraft oil. Oil temperature must be at least 50 °C before take-off. A yellow lamp shows an 11 litre fuel reserve. Unusable fuel is 2.9 litres.
What to check when buying
Look for the logbook entry showing the engine-mount bolts were replaced under bulletin EV 97-042a SR R1. Check that the placards are readable and the tyre pressures are correct (nose 23 psi, main 26 psi). Ask for the actual empty weight from handbook section 6 and the engine records.

Safety notes
- The handbook warns that a power failure can occur at any time. Never fly where a safe landing is not possible.
- Aerobatics and intentional spins are prohibited. IFR and icing conditions are prohibited. Daytime VFR only.
- Mandatory safety bulletin: replace the engine-mount bolts and torque them to 40 Nm. It was due within 30 days of issue or at the next scheduled inspection.
